14 Piece Chasing Tool Set

The Triangle Tools

These are the triangle tools. I'll just call them the Narrow, Medium, and Equilateral Triangle Tools. These are small detail tools. They don't get a lot of use, but can be essential for getting into tight spaces. In one sense they are flatter tools. I use them to push down or flatten sections. However, they are not intended to be used over broad areas.

These tools and the series of small oval tools are all quite sharp edged. This means that they will VERY easily dig in on the sides if you are holding the tool even slightly off angle when working with it. However, it also means that if you are holding them at just the right angle they will make a very crisp edge. When I use them it is generally in corners and other such tight areas. I will carefully place it just where I need to tuck down a corner and strike the end, more like you might a stamping tool. I don't use them to cover surfaces much larger than the face of the tools. If the area I need to flatten gets much larger than that I will move to progressively larger flatters.
